businessman in a grey suit, he's 34
dreaming of the mainland he's coming back for
he's had his heart broke, he's lost a friend,
and somewhere between here & the broken-down island
he got old; he's gonna spend the night alone
the city's cold, & the midnight train is all he knows
cityscapes, they pass him by, illuminate his thoughts
dreaming of the memories he left shattered, in the dark
he's got his money, he's got his clothes,
but just like the rest of us, though, deep down, he's alone
he's getting old; he's gonna spend the night alone
the city's cold, & the midnight train is all he knows
so don't ask him nothing; it's classified
just count yourself lucky to be on the same train line
but you gotta go; pack your bag, get up and go
the city's cold, & the midnight train is going home
It's childhood. It's a beautiful soundtrack. It's nostalgia. It's still getting jumpscared by cave noises at 2AM, because you're still playing this damn game 10 years later. It's Minecraft! devin_s
